I'm really not doing business

Chapter 429 I bought a Wu boat to carry Wu girls, and the capital was drunk every day.

The first Wenhua Palace meeting in the ninth year of Wanli determined the main context of this year's new policy, covering both land and sea.

Enriching the country and strengthening the army is still part of the New Deal, but the development of sea and land has become the focus. The two most important directions are Wang Huabeilu's suzerain Khan and the development of the Yuanxun Islands.

New policies such as the return of the land to the land, the rectification of education and administration, the opening of sea investment, the establishment of official factories and corps, the free trade of merchant ships, the relocation of wealthy households to enrich the capital, the selection of official examinations, and the supervision of officials are still in progress.

It's just that the focus of the ninth year of Wanli is development.

This kind of development has been supported, and it is not that the emperor Zhu Yijun has turned the court into a one-spoken hall, playing coloring games with a strong boy like him.

From the outside to the inside, the Ming Dynasty was divided into tributary states, vassal states, Jisi Xuanwei Division, and Shitu counties.

In a broad sense, today's Portugal and Spain are both tributary countries of the Ming Dynasty, and Portugal is evolving into a vassal state because Antonio was canonized by the Ming Dynasty. Before that, the farthest vassal state of the Ming Dynasty should be Ceylon in Sri Lanka in the West. In the fifth chapter, he was subdued and canonized by the Ming Dynasty.

Under the Ming Dynasty's definition, paying tribute and vassalage are not the expansion of territory in the strict sense. Only counties and counties can be regarded as the expansion of territory.

There are four standards for solid land counties: garrisoning troops, collecting taxes, arranging people to register as households, and rolling cars on the same tracks and writing books with the same text.

The internal conflicts of the Ming Dynasty continued to intensify. While the sword was directed inward, it was inevitable for the feudal monarchy to resort to external wars.

The imperial court of Spain, on which the sun never sets, could effectively rule the vast colonies without the ropes of force.

In the first year of Wanli, Liu Xian attacked the capital of Zhangman and returned to his hometown; in the third year of Wanli, Ling Yunyi defeated the Yao people's rebellion and established three counties; Li Chengliang built six forts in Kuandian, Liaodong in the tenth year of Wanli; from the eleventh year of Wanli to the thirteenth year of Wanli In winter, Liu Wei suppressed the barbarians. After the death of Mang Yinglong, he completely crippled Donggu and opened up the Longchuan River Valley in Yunnan and the surrounding areas south of Ailao Mountain. In the 27th year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong's rebellion in Bozhou was put down, and Bozhou was fully Real soil counties.

"Legas's travel notes were published in Ming Dynasty newspapers and were quite popular. Before the Chinese New Year, he wrote a travel note discussing the backwardness of Ming Dynasty's economic restrictions." Wan Shihe distributed several miscellaneous newspapers, and Ming Dynasty Ming Mingming After reading it, all the gentlemen looked unhappy.

Legas said:

The expansion of territory in the Ming Dynasty did not end in the Yongle period, but in the Wanli period. The expansion of the entire Wanli period covered a total of five regions, about the size of twenty counties.

Scholars of the Ming Dynasty will never discuss what they gained during this period. Just like the gains from the six voyages to the West during the Yongle period, few people talk about it. They will regard it as the emperor squandering the wealth of the Ming Dynasty for his own imperial hegemony. , How much trauma was brought to Ming Dynasty by the aggressive military force.

"I'm afraid that before the day I die, they will scold me for being extravagant. I spent so much money and got nothing."

The courtiers all looked at Zhang Juzheng blankly. His Majesty's words were originally a complaint. Just listen to them. There is no need to answer. The humble Confucians of the Ming Dynasty always hope to get something for nothing, that is, to get a huge wealth without any effort.

These were the five large-scale expansions of the Ming Dynasty. As for the expansion of the Lijiang prefecture to Qamdo, the change of hereditary chieftains into official officials, the new three sides of Gansu and Ningxia, and the fifth return of the Hami Six Guards outside Jiayuguan, these small-scale developments are not considered real. The development of Tujun and counties is not included. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the actual development of Tujun and counties was approximately equal to the area of ​​two Guizhou provinces.

Compared with Ming Dynasty's cautiousness and caution in opening the sea, Taixi's opening of the sea always seemed very reckless. It had neither a strong navy nor the advantage of goods. It plunged into the vast sea, and the seeds drifted with the current. Where to take root. 】

If we measure the Spanish empire on which the sun never sets at this time according to the standards of solid counties and counties, the scale of Spain will shrink on a large scale. It will not be a large territory of the New World, but a gathering place of dots.

As the court discussion continued, the Ministry of Household Affairs gave a comprehensive introduction to the ocean-going trading houses of Mizhou, Ningbo, Fujian, and Guangzhou. From today on, fifty three-masted and five five-masted ships will be shipped every month in Ming Dynasty according to the trade volume of each trading house. Rationing is no longer a one-man meal in Songjiang Prefecture. In addition to the fixed share, there is an increasing share. For example, last year, Ming Dynasty's three-mast monthly reached 70, and the five-mast reached 12. The excess was divided. The regulations are determined for each trading house and the number of ships. The regulations are not complicated, but the volume of trade has the final say.

"I can finally see that he will die from this mouth sooner or later." Zhu Yijun shook his head after reading the newspaper and said: "But he is right, so I can't kill him."

"I have done the seven things to open the sea. When the time comes, the imperial officials will say that I am a prodigal again." Zhu Yijun looked at the memorandum criticizing himself in his hand, looked at the courtiers and said with a smile: "Once the direction of the country changes, Shrinking, my investment in more than 100 plantations in Nanyang is like a tree without roots and water, and it will wither in a few days."

Legas' Chinese is already excellent. Due to the lack of usage environment for Latin, he now writes travel notes in Chinese and then translates them into Latin. Moreover, sometimes he forgets the words when he picks up his pen. He doesn't know how. Use Latin to express exactly what he wanted to express.

Chen Fuming is not a cheap scholar. He likes to be a visiting and down-to-earth official. It is really a waste to stay in the capital and be a clear figure who just talks.

The ninth year of Wanli was the year to digest these places, and it was also the year to continue to explore and convert the Yuanxun Islands and the Northern Lu clan leader into a king. This was the main content determined by the first court meeting in the ninth year of Wanli.

Once the Ming Dynasty's strategy turns to comprehensive contraction and loses the huge profits from sea trade, the huge navy cannot be maintained. The governor's palace developed by the Ming Dynasty will become a pirate den that threatens the long southeast coastline of the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will have to pay a huge price to maintain it. Ensure coastline tranquility.

Zhu Yijun quite agrees with Legas's travel notes. Legas is a native of Taixi. Kaihai in Taixi focuses on adventure. His ambiguity about Kaihai in the Ming Dynasty is incomprehensible. It is difficult for him to understand because he was in Daming has lived for many years, but is not from Daming. He does not understand that this kind of risk-taking and recklessness is a bit too radical for Daming, who is more than two hundred years old.

This is the Ming court's examination for ocean-going trading houses, and according to the rules of the court, every five years, the ocean-going trading houses in one location will be eliminated and downgraded to merchant gangs, and then a new place will be chosen to form a new trading bank.

It is understandable that the imperial court was hesitant, because the Japanese invasion in the southeast had lasted for more than 20 years, all because the merchants could not satisfy the huge appetite. The merchants coerced desperadoes, and together with the Japanese pirates, it caused a catastrophe.

Don't be afraid of the outcome, but seek no regrets. Ten thousand years is too long, just seize the day.

"Since Chen Fuming thinks he has done something wrong, let's send him to Songjiang Mansion to partner with Governor Shen Shixing." Zhu Yijun promoted the supervisory censor and sent him to Songjiang Mansion as a patrol censor to partner with Shen Shixing.

Zhu Yijun is not talking nonsense. The Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money on the development of Nanyang. He married a princess, granted a surname to the country, built a very powerful navy, conquered Portuguese castles, reclaimed nearly 300,000 hectares of land, and established a There are more than a hundred plantations, and if the overall trend of the Ming Dynasty turns to shrinkage, these will disappear.

Chen Fuming's visit was not to fool the emperor, the court, or himself. Instead, he went deep into the houses outside Chaoyang Gate and visited the transportation routes, land ownership, business scale, and even various groceries such as salt, oil, beans, and wine. He knew how many coal shops, woodcarriers, prostitutes, etc. were outside Chaoyang Gate. He showed the lives of all social strata in his memorials, and wrote down all the good and bad in his memorials.

The reason why Legas' travel notes became like this is largely because he knew that the travel notes he wrote would be difficult for Westerners to understand in a short time. His readers were in the Ming Dynasty, so it was more appropriate to write them in Chinese.

According to the values ​​of the Ming Dynasty, the colonies in the West were at most a tributary state and a vassal state, not even the Jisi Xuanwei Division. The Jisi was like a rope tied to various places, and it was the most intuitive embodiment of violence.

Afraid! Afraid! Afraid! Afraid of accomplishing nothing in the end.

Of course, that guy in Legaz always tells the truth in his travel notes, which makes people unhappy.

Felipe, the overlord of the West, was learning from the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was also learning from the West. The economic control achievements of the West were worthy of reference for the Ming Dynasty. The woolen official factory was a typical example for the Ming Dynasty to learn from.

But Zhang Juzheng answered.

[The Ming Dynasty's current methods of overseas development and economic restraint are like a girl getting on a sedan chair, coquettishly trying to use merchants to go overseas to get real money back, but fearing that the merchants will not be controlled, the paper kite will be broken. The one who placed the kite lost the kite, and the kite didn’t know where it would fall.

The Ming Dynasty has been going back and forth not just in a day or two, but for more than two hundred years.

Zhu Yijun also understood the worries of Ming Gong.

Chen Fuming is not a cheap scholar.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and laughed. Mr.'s goals are always so clear and clear.

Zhang Juzheng continued: "Your Majesty, contradictions come one after another. The Ming Dynasty is always ups and downs in the fierce collision of contradictions. The expansion at this time is correct, and the contraction in the future may not be wrong. No matter how heroic you are, you cannot After deciding what to do after death, in order to prevent our huge investment from being wasted in the end, I think it is better to use all our strength to develop now. When it shrinks, the stall will be too big, where can it be shrunk?"

Under the premise that Zhu Yijun, a big fluttering moth, kept fluttering his wings, the Ming Dynasty completed the overseas development of the four major governor's offices of Jiugang, Luzon, Ryukyu, and Nagasaki, and also completed the six fortresses of Kuandian, Daningwei, and Quaning in Liaodong. The land development of Wei, Yingchang and Kaipingwei was also based on this necessity.

"This is inevitable." Zhang Juzheng suddenly said.

As soon as the contradiction is mentioned, the development of Ming Dynasty becomes very clear, which is a spiral upward. The upward movement does not always happen, but now when it rises, what we can do is to make the rising height high enough, so that when it slips, it will not fall. Worse than before.

"After the publication of Legaz's miscellaneous newspaper, it triggered the follow-up of many miscellaneous newspapers. Many pens were also discussing this matter. They felt that the imperial court seemed a little timid when it came to maritime affairs." The reason why Wan Shihe specifically mentioned This miscellaneous newspaper reminded the Ming emperor to pay attention to the emergence of this kind of argument among the people. The people of the Ming Dynasty were already dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty's conservative policy of opening up the sea, and felt that the court's steps were too small.

"What are they going to do if we want them to open the sea?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously: "What did the editors say?"

"Fully open the blueprints and technology of five-masted transoceanic ships to merchants, completely liberalize prohibited items, the Merchant Shipping Department has changed from drawing points for each ship to self-declaration and random inspection, completely liberalizing ships' navigation without reporting, and canceling the ban on Japanese countries. The prohibition of trade and so on." Wan Shihe's voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't say anything more. He was afraid that the emperor would personally kill people.

What they want is: buy a Wu boat to carry Wu girls, and make the capital drunk every day.

The Ming Dynasty prohibited the trading of Han people. This was a strictly binding rule and the most thoroughly implemented decree in the Ming Dynasty. Han people were not allowed to be traded as slaves.

Wan Shihe didn't dare to say it. If he did, His Majesty wouldn't let the court meeting go. He would just use the Qi family knife to kill people. It's not like His Majesty has never done this before. The incident of killing Chen Youren has been criticized by the people to this day. They talk about it with relish.

Zhu Yijun immediately understood what Wan Shihe was talking about. In fact, he was a completely free trade party!
The speeches were so outrageous that Zhu Yijun thought that these people were simply backtracking, using outrageous speeches to satirize some ideas. "Haha, don't pay attention. You're like a lunatic." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and sneered. This kind of soil did not exist in the Ming Dynasty. It was just a joke.

Wang Chonggu's brows knitted into knots, and he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this trend of thought is very dangerous. If the garden in any villa is not pruned, it will not be a cluster of flowers, but will grow wildly."

"In the fourth year of Wanli, there were 53353 weavers in the woolen official factory. Due to the improvement of spinning technology and steam engines, this year, we only need weavers. Compared with four years ago, this year's seven thousand weavers are enough." Thousand weavers have more pieces of cloth than Wanli four years ago, so what are the remaining weavers going to do? Are they going to sell themselves in brothels?"

"This year we reduced investment in steam engines and new textile machines, and eliminated 3,000 weavers. There are many reasons for these weavers to be eliminated, but they still have a place to go, and that is the woolen factories that keep popping up among the people."

"According to their statement, if the imperial court does not interfere, there may not even be a woolen business. This so-called freedom is just for the sake of publicity. I believe that this trend must not be encouraged."

Wang Chonggu worked in industry, and he was very aware of the dangers of this kind of liberalism. Technological upgrades without any plan will only harm and cause the displacement of people, not only the woolen official factories, but also the shipyards, weaving bureaus, and cotton spinning bureaus of the Ming Dynasty. , Taotushan Baitu Factory, Xishan Coal Bureau, Datong Coal Bureau, etc. are all the same.

Wang Chonggu believes that this completely liberal trend of thought is extremely dangerous and must be vigilant. It transfers the risk completely downward and allows the people of the Ming Dynasty to bear the risk of changes in the luxurious households and noble families.

After thinking over and over again, Zhu Yijun was ready to observe and observe this kind of public opinion. Strict bans and strangleholds would sometimes be counterproductive.

After the court meeting, Zhu Yijun specifically stayed with Wan Shihe and asked about many matters regarding the Tuman Khan's visit to Beijing to pay tribute. The Ming Dynasty had made preparations. Even if the Tuman Khan broke his promise and refused to come, the Beijing camp would still be there. Under the leadership of Qi Jiguang, they went to 'invite' Tuman Khan to come to Beijing. By then, the treatment would not be the same as now.

After Wan Shihe finished talking about the business, he did not leave immediately. Instead, after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, I don't think Sun Kehong's seven things about opening up the sea are stupid, and I don't accept Mr. Sun Shang." I have money to speak kindly to President Sun Shang, and this also talks about the old affairs of Yongle and Xuande."

"During the Yongle period, the British Duke Zhang Fu raided Annan twice, but during the Xuande period, Annan was still lost. This is not because Annan had a disobedient heart. It was actually because we, the Ming Dynasty, went too far after Annan became the Thirteenth Division of Jiaozhi. Caused by peeling."

Wan Shihe talked about the reason why Zhang Fu conquered the Ping'an South Kingdom twice and the reason why the Ming Jiaozhi Thirteenth Division failed to stabilize its rule after maintaining it for 22 years. Wan Shihe was very euphemistic, but Zhang Fu defeated it twice. , left twice, the Ming Dynasty officials and eunuchs in Jiaozhi did too many bad things, which can be said to be cruel and too numerous to describe.

A large part of the reason for Annan's restoration was that the government forced the people to rebel while taking advantage of the situation.

The Ming Dynasty lost the Thirteen Divisions of Jiaozhi during the Xuande period. This was a historical lesson. Today, this historical issue is difficult to solve. It is a legacy issue for the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a legacy issue for Annan.

Annan has been completely ruled by China for more than a thousand years, and its culture, political system, military, and economy are highly consistent with those of the Ming Dynasty. But now Annan has essentially become a vassal state, which has also caused many endogenous problems in Annan. And there is no way out.

Therefore, when Sun Kehong proposed the seven things to open the sea, Wan Shihe expressed his agreement.

"The road to Wanghua is indeed not as direct as the complete plunder of Taixi. Wanghua may even lose money, but the advantage of Wanghua is that after Wanghua, it is to expand the territory." Wan Shihe's high opinion of Legas He has always dismissed the theory of moral inferiority. He believes that high morals will indeed be at a disadvantage in the short term during colonization, but in the long term, they will be an advantage.

Because the transformation of the Ming Dynasty to the king will bring about solid soil counties and counties, instead of paying tribute, vassal, and Jidu Xuanwei. , are all the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, not colonies. This is the essential difference between the Ming Dynasty's voyages to the sea and the great voyages to the West.

"What Aiqing said is absolutely true." Zhu Yijun thought over and over again and agreed with Wan Shihe's words. Then he changed the subject and asked, "How does the eldest uncle view the current situation in the court?"

"Dang Zhang is in charge of the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel; Party Jin is in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and Punishment; Party Zhejiang is in charge of the Ministry of War and Ministry of Industry; Minister is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Haigangfeng, Zhang Dang, and Jin Party are in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which can be said to be a perfect balance." Wan Shihe did not choose to talk nonsense about the emperors, saints, ministers and virtuous people. The factions of the court officials in the Ming Dynasty were very clear. Ma Ziqiang was a direct descendant of the Zhang party. Before he left the court, the power of the factions in the Ming Dynasty was unbalanced. Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites. It is a unique family.

Here, Wan Shihe and Hai Rui are both pure imperialists.

"Your Majesty, as your Majesty's assistant to the Yuan Dynasty, your Majesty has done nothing wrong so far. He is also regarded as an imperial party. When you are here, the balance is there. If you are not there, there may be big changes." Wan Shihe went further. expressed his opinion.

Zhang Juzheng, as another core of the imperial party, makes all ambitious people breathless. What if Zhang Juzheng is no longer here?

"Sir, there is nothing serious in your health." Zhu Yijun was very concerned about Zhang Juzheng's health. The great medical officer could diagnose the pulse on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Although Zhang Juzheng's body was not in its prime, it was very healthy. Zhang Juzheng was still very young, he was only five years old. Seventeen years old, for a cabinet minister, this age is really young.

That old guy Xu Jie lived to be over 80 years old, and Yan Song even lived to be 87 years old.

"Your Majesty has reached the peak of his life." Wan Shihe nodded. In the eyes of many people, Zhang Juzheng has completed his historical mission to ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty when the young country is in doubt. Since he has completed his historical mission, it is time to leave. Go or die, and it will be annoying if you stay any longer.

Wan Shihe's words are very dangerous. Even if you don't interpret it too much, Empress Dowager Li is still tired of Zhang Juzheng. If you interpret it too much, even Zhu Yijun should be tired of Zhang Juzheng.

This may be the sequelae of Zhang Juzheng not overstepping the power of the Lord. Ming Dynasty did not thank Zhang Juzheng, from top to bottom.

Wan Shihe glanced at the emperor. In fact, now is the best time for His Majesty to take action, because the Tuman Khan surrendered, the Anda Khan was old and invincible against foreign threats, and Zhang Juzheng was at his weakest since he became the country. The Ministry of Rites Just out of Zhang Dang's control, the Zhutou case involved Luo Yao, a subordinate of Zhang Juzheng. Using the Zhutou case as a guide, he made personnel transfers to Zhang Dang. It was reasonable and reasonable to weaken Zhang Juzheng. Through Wang Chonggu's Jin Party, Zhang Juzheng could be completely defeated.

But Wan Shihe thought about it for a while and concluded that His Majesty would not take action, or in other words, he had never considered it at all. His Majesty had never regarded Zhang Juzheng as an enemy of the pro-government. Similarly, His Majesty listened to the government from the imperial gate and quarreled in the audience. , His Majesty was already in charge when he was studying on stage.

Zhu Yijun said solemnly: "If Uncle Zong says this, I'm afraid that you may be in danger. No, even if you object again, the two hundred Tielin troops from the Yicheng uncle's mansion should be equipped with guards."

"This method does not violate the ancestral system. In the last years of Zhengde, Yang Tinghe made a killing list, specifically to eliminate those who were dissident and dissident. It was majestic and majestic. He went in and out to protect more than 300 people. Yang Tinghe was still called loyal and brave, and he was in charge of the affairs as usual." Wan Shihe immediately found the ancestral law for the emperor.

Wan Shihe sometimes couldn't understand how Yang Tinghe was rated as a loyal and upright minister of the country. If Yang Tinghe was a minister of the country, wouldn't Wan Shihe be able to judge an economic country? ! Killing the party to eliminate dissidents and violating the rules to protect the left and right. Is this something that loyal ministers can do?

Yang Tinghe was not a super-grade man, and had more than 300 guards to protect him. Zhang Juzheng was a super-grade earl conferred by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and the Tielin Army was established by his ancestors. Two hundred people were responsible for protection, which was more than enough.

"Sir, in the past few years, he has not even accepted Bingjing and Tanjing. The internal funds are responsible for this expenditure. Da Zongbo convinced you that it would be more appropriate to handle this matter before the Lantern Festival." Zhu Yijun gave clear instructions, And set a deadline.

"I obey the order." Wan Shihe was also unambiguous and obeyed his leader's orders.

It is not easy to convince Zhang Juzheng, especially as His Majesty has shown more and more wisdom and Zhang Juzheng's biggest heart problem has disappeared. In recent years, Zhang Juzheng has become more and more abiding by the righteousness of his ministers. Last year, he even used the term "long term" to seriously intend to become an official. .

It might be difficult to deal with this matter on others, but Wan Shi and this eloquent snake oil are the most suitable to handle this matter, and he knows Zhang Juzheng's weakness, and it is best for a gentleman to bully him.

Wan Shihe went to the Quanchu Guild Hall in the afternoon, and after being polite to Zhang Juzheng, he explained his purpose of visit.

"What Uncle Zong said is absolutely inappropriate. I have no meritorious deeds. To confer the title of uncle based on my merits based on a certain strategy is already a treasonous move. Once the Tielin Army comes out, wouldn't it be a pity to die?" Zhang Juzheng really refused. He understood the reason why His Majesty asked him to form two hundred Tielin troops, but he didn't want to do that.

Wan Shi and the old god said: "The contradiction is said to be written by Yuan Fu. Yuan Fu, when the contradiction intensifies, anything will happen. Assassination, poisoning, slander, there are endless means. Zhang Siwei twice The crime has been pinned on Gao Gong's head, Yuan Fu shouldn't think that these things won't happen to him."

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "A true man stands between heaven and earth and is a man of integrity. I, Zhang Juzheng, have a clear conscience throughout my life."

Wan Shihe took a sip of tea and said: "Does Yuanfu trust His Majesty? If Yuanfu really dies at the hands of evildoers, what will happen to Your Majesty? Open the skylight and speak frankly. What is hidden under His sunny and cheerful smile? Yuan Fu knows his face much better than I do, and Yuan Fu doesn’t want His Majesty to really fall into despair.”

Wan Shihe knew Zhang Juzheng's weakness very well. The emperor was all the hope of Zhang Juzheng's new policy. Once His Majesty turned into a monster, no one knew how crazy His Majesty would be.

"Uncle Da Zong's mouth, in the pre-Qin Dynasty, is more or less a political strategist." Zhang Juzheng finally understood why the courtiers were reporting to impeach Wan Shihe every day. This mouth was too vicious.

"Yuan Fu is so complimentary." Wan Shihe replied cheerfully.

Zhang Juzheng sighed, he really wasn't praising, he was swearing with a gun and a stick, couldn't Wan Shihe really hear it?

"I will not recruit myself. I will select 20 people from the Tiqi and select 180 elite soldiers from the Beijing camp." Zhang Juzheng chose to compromise, and the Tielin Army of the Yicheng Prefecture could be formed. But he will not recruit himself. It is most suitable for His Majesty to directly recruit people. His Majesty is really annoying him as the Imperial Master, so it is convenient for him to do it.

"Okay, I'll go back and resume my life right now." Wan Shihe left the Quanchu Guild Hall in a staggered manner, looking quite in need of a beating.

Zhu Yijun called Luo Sigong to him and said to Luo Sigong very seriously: "Luo Sigong, I give you a task to protect your safety. No matter who wants to kill you, you must stop him."

"Who is it?" Luo Sigong asked, clenching the Xiuchun knife in his hand.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Yes."

"I obey the order." Luo Sigong obeyed the leader's order.

He, the second best player in the youth group, was obedient, even if Zhu Yijun asked him to beat the emperor.
